The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 keeps the powertrain lineup that truck owners know and trust, offering four engines designed to match different kinds of drivers. The TurboMax 2.7-liter four-cylinder serves as the efficient yet capable entry point, delivering about 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque for everyday use and light towing. For drivers who want more low-end muscle, the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 produces roughly 355 hp and 383 lb-ft, while the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 raises output to about 420 hp and 460 lb-ft for heavier workloads. Those seeking efficiency without sacrificing capability can opt for the 3.0-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel I6, rated at 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque among the highest in its class for low-end pulling power. Each engine is paired with Chevrolet’s multi-speed automatic transmission options and calibrated to balance throttle response, efficiency, and trailer capability.

when properly equipped this truck offers up to 13,300 pounds of maximum trailering and a payload capacity that varies by configuration (maximum figures published by Chevrolet for specific builds). A robust 10-speed automatic transmission and chassis hardware work with an available suite of trailering technologies including Chevy’s Trailering App, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert and up to 14 camera views — to simplify hookups and towing maneuvers. For drivers who push beyond pavement, the ZR2 and Trail Boss variants bring factory-tuned off-road hardware: heavy-duty skid plates, a two-inch factory lift, Multimatic DSSV™ dampers on the ZR2, auto-locking differentials and large all-terrain tires (up to 33-inch on ZR2) that increase approach/departure angles and ground clearance. Available Super Cruise™ hands-free driving capability on compatible highways further reduces fatigue on long hauls, making the Silverado equally competent for heavy towing, long road miles, or rugged off-road work.

Inside, the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offers a modern, connected space that balances utility and comfort in equal measure. The cabin design focuses on intuitive technology and premium craftsmanship, with available materials that enhance both durability and style. The centerpiece is an available 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Google built-in capabilities, giving you seamless access to maps, media, and vehicle settings. A 12.3-inch digital driver information center and available 15-inch Head-Up Display keep key driving data within easy sight, helping you stay focused on the road. Practicality also shines in details like under-seat storage, fold-flat rear seating, and multiple USB ports for devices and tools alike. Higher trims elevate comfort further with leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, and dual-zone climate control for individualized comfort. The result is a cabin versatile enough for long commutes, jobsite duty, or family traveling.

The 2026 Silverado 1500 integrates Chevrolet’s latest suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies, giving drivers peace of mind behind the wheel. Every trim comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® auto high-beams. Together, these systems enhance awareness and help prevent potential collisions before they happen. Available upgrades further strengthen the Silverado’s safety credentials. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, HD Surround Vision, and Adaptive Cruise Control enhance visibility and comfort during longer drives. Trailering Safety Tech, including Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert and Enhanced Hitch Guidance, simplifies towing and adds precision to every connection. At First State Chevrolet, we know safety is just as important as strength. The 2026 Silverado 1500 is built to deliver both, helping keep you secure while tackling every mile ahead with confidence.
